Like most parents leaving their children and returning to work, I was so anxious, but all the staff at Daisy Chain have been fantastic!! They have been so responsive to my daughter's needs and the rapport I’ve built with the staff from day one was brilliant.
I have seen a change in her development already and she has only been going for six weeks. I would most certainly recommend them, all staff are very attentive and it’s very reassuring to me when I leave as I’m confident she’s in the best hands.

As Grandparents, it was extremely important for us that the nursery he went to (four days/week) provided him with love, care, interest, enjoyment, and stimulation. I was nervous that he would be spending four days at nursery at such a young age but I was very quickly surprised/delighted when I could see how happy he was. Daisy Chain fulfilled that for us and our Grandson. The staff there are amazing and he loved spending time with them. He has learnt so much and developed so many skills, many of which would have been developed at a slower pace had he not attended. Each child is dealt with on an individual basis and the staff clearly put the child first in the activities they undertake and the way they get to know the children. I picked our Grandson up most Fridays and was made very welcome by all of the staff who took time to talk to me about his activity. I cannot thank you all enough for all you have done for him - we will miss you all very much.

My daughter currently attends this nursery as did my son. He enjoyed himself so much and was so well looked after that I had no doubt about placing my daughter here too. My daughter started attending at 6 months old. Whilst it was upsetting to leave her, I knew she was being well looked after - the staff are friendly, helpful and build a rapport with every child. Through the day I can look online at secure photos uploaded by the nursery of my daughter having fun getting involved in all the different activities provided and when I pick her up, I get a detailed information sheet of what she has been doing, including what food and how much she has eaten, number and length of naps, etc.

The staff have been a great with weaning too, always following my lead. My daughter requires a dairy free diet and nursery have fully supported this (including ordering special products).

My daughter has developed so much since starting at Daisy Chain. I would have no doubts in recommending this nursery.

Our son has attended Daisy Chain Rothwell since just after his 1st Birthday and he absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic, which is very reassuring to know, he is in good hands while we are at work. The range of activities is very good, and we always get an update of what he has been up to at the end of the day. We love to see the pictures and updates on the Tapestry app - it's great to see the action shots of him enjoying himself. Our son is shortly about to turn 2, it's now great to see him starting to make friends with the other children in his room.

I have 2 children at Daisy Chain in Rothwell and they both thoroughly love going to nursery. All of the staff genuinely care about every single child and go out of the way to help them to develop. The facilities are great and love that the kids come home shattered and dirty after having so much fun learning new things.

Myself and my son love Daisy Chain. I feel at ease leaving him in the capable hands of the Daisy Chain team. He gets to do so many creative activities and his nursery teachers write down everything he has done throughout the day including meals, activities and nappy changes. He gets to play outside which he really enjoys. I love how they are always making things for events in the year. It really is a joy bringing him here so thank you for being fantastic!

My eldest son attended Daisy Chain for 4 and a half years leaving in September 2014, my youngest son has recently started at the nursery.
I am pleased to see that standards have been maintained through these years and encouraged that many of the staff are the same and staff turnover appears to be low.
The key workers in his room are engaging constantly with the children and encouraging them to try new things. There is lots of activities undertaken through the day which my little boy loves and is developing very quickly through the play activities. His key worker is very hands on and I feel happy leaving him in her care. He has already developed a strong attachment to her in the couple of weeks since he started and I believe this is because she engages with him and he feels safe knowing she is there.

Both of my sons have attended Daisy Chain Rothwell since 2011. My eldest absolutely loved it and grew both in confidence and character with fantastic carers looking after him in and engaging and safe environment. It was a natural choice for my eldest to attend as well, and he also loves going, he has founded some real bonds with his carers and thrives in a lovely environment. I know when I am at work he is having fun and with his friends and learning and developing well.

Our Son is developing really well at Daisy Chain and enjoys going to Nursery.

His regular carers look after him really well and my experience in dealing with them and management is always positive.

My son also has an allergy, the Nursery has been very supportive with this, not just following protocol but also going to extra efforts giving us advice and even getting him a certified nut free chocolate egg for Easter.

Thank you to everyone at Daisy Chain.

Great nursery and the staff looking after my little boy are very warming towards him, especially the times he is unsettled. Gives me peace of mind leaving him at nursery.

He is a very shy boy and his speech is delayed, which as a parent is causing natural anxieties. I would prefer more contact e.g. parents evening or meeting to discuss what we as parents can do so, we are all working together. Last review was in the pixies room.

Overall, the staff we have had dealings with, are amazing especially one young girl in particular in the Elves room who has taken him under her wing.

The manager has tried to facilitate where possible, in extra nursery days and trying to sort the days for our son's free hours. Thank you, it is really appreciated.

I only wish we could put him in extra days as it certainly does bring him on in leaps and bounds.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

My sons are 3yrs and 19mth with the 3 year old attending since just after his second birthday, and the 19mth old since he was 11 month. Both boys love going to nursery and love all the activities they do there, as well as all the foods they get. My youngest has some food allergies and the nursery have accommodated for this really well. Both kids regularly have two portions of their lunches (even when its food that the little blighter refuse to eat at home). Both boys are in their second rooms now and the staff were brilliant in helping them transition. The on-line Tapestry tool is really great and we love seeing the photos that are posted.

If there is one thing that Daisy Chains seems to excel at (beyond all other areas that they are also brilliant at), it is the quality of the staff in all the rooms. They are all amazing and seem to genuinely care about each child.

My son is now 3 years old and has attended daisy chain since 8 months. As he has moved up through the different stages he has settled in to each room in no time at all,the staff are lovely and make this transition as easy as possible for the children.
My son loves all the staff they are so friendly, caring and enthusiastic they really are a credit to the nursery.
The nursery provides a wide variety of healthy nutritious meals all cooked onsite.
There is a fantastic outdoor play area, they have music classes and French lessons and that's on top of all the other activities they get up to, i really cant recommend this nursery enough and the communication is great with regular updates.

My daughter has been attending Daisy Chain for over 2 years. Her progression through the different rooms has been seamless, and she has formed good relationships with all the staff on her journey. All the staff know her by name and she loves going. We have never had a problem with her refusing to go to nursery; recently she has complained when we've picked her up early! I have noticed a lot of changes in my little girls development; she is more sociable and every day surprises me with what she has done and learnt. The annual sports day is fantastic.

I can not praise the staff enough, to do what they do, always smiling and full of energy. They are amazing.

Both my sons have attended Daisy Chain since age 1 and have received consistent high-quality care. The staff in the rooms are always warm, attentive and enthusiastic. They know my sons so well as individuals. Several activities are offered; play, creative, cooking. Last week I walked into Elves with my son after breakfast to find an inspiring range of activities - one staff member was sitting with a group making dinosaur masks, another rolling out homemade play dough and a third table had an inviting set up of small animal toys! Children were also involved in free play of their own initiative. The atmosphere was welcoming and stimulating for my son inspiring me to post this review! There isn't free access to an outdoor space but the children play out a lot in the private park area and access the school field during holidays. Healthy meals provided. I had a difficulty with changing day but management took time out to resolve this completely to my satisfaction. My sons have blossomed here!

My daughter started with Daisy Chain in October 2015 aged 12 weeks. I was apprehensive about enrolling her so young as she was the youngest child in her room. Some 5 months down the line, I couldn't be happier. She attends nursery 3 days a week and absolutely loves it. The staff are excellent and clearly enjoy their job. They show a genuine affection her and I feel comfortable that her needs are met at all times. They find innovative ways of engaging her in activities both independently and alongside the older the children. Not only has the nursery been exemplary in their care of my daughter, they have supported me through the challenging early months of motherhood. They have provided vital support in introducing my EBF child to a bottle and now together we are crackling the exciting challenge of introducing her to solid foods. The quality of the food is excellent (it puts my cooking to shame) and It's great to know my daughter is receiving homemade meals during her early months.

Since 2011 I have had a child at nursery and our experience has always been positive, friendly helpful staff, building strong relationships with my children to the point where they shout out the staff members names through the night! Daisychain introduced a 'stamp per mouthful scheme' at dinnertimes, when one child went through a particularly fussy eating phase, great idea and worked really well. Due to a house move we swapped to a more local alternative outstanding nursery but after 1 month we moved the children back to Daisychain. It was not a patch on Daisychain, due to activities done in a day and all the extras offered; music, pyjama drama, zoo lab etc. You don't realise what you have until it is gone. We love Daisychain Rothwell.

Both my children adore all the staff at Daisy Chain. They are caring, considerate, affectionate, professional, knowledgeable and experienced. They have a clear daily structure and aim to meet the varying needs of all children while adhering to the EYFS curriculum. The methods of communication are excellent, particularly now with the online system and the additional function to allow communication from home to share learning experiences. Excellent indoor and outdoor facilities. Excellent range of foods with a regular menu update to support season produce.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and I often find her role playing activities and events that have happened at nursery. She frequently talks about what she has been doing and loves looking at her pictures that are done on an online profile. This has also helped get an understanding of the activities that she undertakes and how these promote her development and skills. I love the fact that she came home with French words after having a French session. The staff are lovely and really care about my child. My son also attended when he was little and they frequently ask how he is getting on. I love the fact that the meals are varied and she gets to try foods that she wouldn't necessarily get at home. Her confidence has really developed and I attribute this to the nurturing that the staff have given her to become a confident child.

I think Daisy Chain is a great nursery. My child has developed so much since attending 12 months ago with her verbal and motor skills. It is a safe environment with helpful and friendly staff - who make me feel as though they have a genuine interest in my daughter both on a personal and professional basis.
Daisy Chain gives regular paper and online updates of my child's progress and the variety of food given is of a high standard.
I especially like the events that also take place there including sports day. Overall it is a great place to attend.
